RE: UR 142 convoy?

<HTML>Hi Georg and Anders,
The British Admiralty U-Boat Trend for 6th to 15th November 1944 mentions that the \'Godafoss\' attempted to rescue survivors from the tanker \'Shirvan\'.
I also found from the site \'Iceland and World War Two\' that the \'Godafoss\' stopped to rescue 19 men from the tanker. The ship then continued on its way to Reykjavik but was torpedoed at 1302 hours by the U-300. The ship sank within 7 minutes and took with it 24 people ( 10 passengers and 14 crewmembers ), among them a family of 5 ( 2 young doctors returning from Harvard in the US and their 3 children). 4 or 5 of the 19 men saved from the British tanker survived the \'Godafoss\' sinking.
I think that maybe Gummi has some connection with the \'Iceland and World War Two\' site - and may perhaps have been the author of the above information!
Hope this has been of some help.
All the best,
Andrew </HTML>
